Chapter 221 - 220: Elder Sister’s Phone Call (6)
The man stood tall and silent, the streetlight casting a slanting glow that highlighted the distinct contours of his profile. He slightly lifted his head, his dark eyes fixed on the upper floor of the building, motionless. Because of the distance, Ji Xinxin couldn’t see the expression in his eyes clearly. However, his posture, his demeanor, unwittingly revealed profound affection.
Ji Xinxin impulsively followed his gaze upward, to the very floor where she lived.
So... Shi Che appeared here in the middle of the night, not to directly confront Ling Chuxia about her running away from home, but just to stand here and quietly watch?
Ji Xinxin’s confusion deepened. Just as she was about to approach and chat with Shi Che for a bit, Shi Che had already turned around and walked toward the direction of the parking lot.
Ji Xinxin’s steps halted in place as she watched Shi Che’s retreating figure. For some reason, she felt an overwhelming sense of solitude and desolation. Ji Xinxin’s gaze lingered on Shi Che’s back, staying fixed until he had walked far away, before she finally snapped back to reality.
It was well-known that Shi Che fancied Ling Yunshu. Since their school days, they had been acknowledged as a couple. Although Shi Che had never admitted it himself, he had never denied it either, so everyone naturally paired him up with Ling Yunshu.
But now... why did she feel that Shi Che’s feelings for Xiaxia... weren’t as disdainful as Xiaxia had said? Perhaps... she even thought that Shi Che might like Xiaxia?
But if Shi Che liked Xiaxia, why would he treat her this way?
